The Paul Jennings and Jeanette Dunn Charitable Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Only other registered charities are listed as eligible to apply, so a group that is not a registered charity should not approach this foundation.
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, and its trustees choose whom to fund through their own research and experience, so a cold application is unlikely to be the right route.
- Its recorded recipients include animal sanctuaries, wildlife-conservation charities and organisations focused on animals and social justice, so check whether your work sits in that territory before you spend time on an approach.
- It gives throughout the world and made £400,000 in its latest reported year, but no grant range is stated, so it is hard to suggest a request size.
